Call to Prayer!

I would ask that you join me as I join easter a. at Mostly Prayers in prayer for those who are or will become unemployed during this time of fuel shortages. It not only affects us here but around the world. We are "our brother's keeper," and are thus responsible for his well-being. So let us pray and sacrifice, in order that ALL might suffer less everywhere.

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH FOR EMPLOYMENT

Dear St. Joseph, you were given the responsibility of providing the necessities of life for Jesus and Mary. Look down with fatherly compassion upon our brothers and sisters in their anxiety over their present struggle to support their families due to job loss. Please help them find gainful employment very soon, so that this heavy burden of concern will be lifted from their hearts and that they soon will be able to provide for those whom God has entrusted to their care. Help us to guard against bitterness and discouragement, so that we may emerge from this trial spiritually enriched and with even greater blessings from God. Amen.

This we ask through the intercession of St. Joseph, in the name of Jesus Christ our brother, Lord and Savior. Amen!

Thanks be to God
and
all who pray and sacrifice.
